I like making any kind of stuff related to kids. These palyballs
are perfect as baby gifts. Since it is handmade, it is unique. I like the idea
that there is not another one similar to that. Whether it is for your own kind
or planned to be a gift, here I tell the easy way of making th playball.
The ball is made with
english paper piecing and sewn all by hand. It doesn’t take long, you can
finish it in a few hours. Let’s start then.
You will need 12 pentagons for the ball. You should baste fabric
to each hexagon. If you are new and haven’t got an idea about how to english
paper piece, you can see my english paper piecing tutorial
Once you baste pentagons, you should press on them with iron
and then we are ready to put them together. Select one of the pentagons to be
in the center and start whipstitching the petals of five which will make a
flower.
When you finish stitching the petals, it will look like
this:
Leave the papers in, place the two flowers on top of one
another. You will see that they fit together and continue stitching the two
pieces together. Leave two lengths without stitching so that you can turn the
right side and stuff it.
Remove the papers. Turn it to the right side of the fabric.
Stuff the ball completely.
Finally stitch the opening and it is completed.
